Who Are the Gartrell Builders?

After graduating from Tarleton State University, founder Jim Gartrell worked for a large corporate builder in the Dallas area. After four years, he left and formed his own company based in Glen Rose, Texas. In addition to the Hood, Somervell, Erath and Bosque county markets, he has built in the Longview area and the DFW metroplex.

In 2004, Jim was joined by his son, Jon. Jon graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to his education, Jon has practical experience in the building trades. He has worked as a trim carpenter, a framing carpenter, a cabinet builder, and on a commercial construction crew. He serves the company primarily as the on-site construction supervisor.

Together, Jim and Jon operate this small family business in and around the Glen Rose area. Over the past thirty years, they’ve built their business on a reputation of integrity, excellence, and happy customers.
